Great series. It started out as one webclip, and turned into one of the most popular machinama products on the web. It became so big in fact, that Microsoft and Bungie noticed them and gave them funding to upgrade their equipment and such.
Okay, so its technically webisodes made from Halo 1 and 2, but this is just plain fucking funny. It's obvious how it lasted 5 seasons and dozens upon dozens PSAs.
To make this perfectly clear, 'Red vs. Blue' was the best thing to happen to the internet since...ever. The show is utterly flawless in every way, shape and form. Every episode is crafted absolutely magnificently, with a great script and remarkable charatcers. Every time I watch one episode, I am in stitches. The Rooster Teeth guys are genius. 5/5 from me, and that's only because I can't put 100/5. Some may notice my username + display pic derives from this show.
AMAZING. Seriously. Even if you're not a fan of Halo you MUST watch these episodes. They're hilarious. So many characters, yet Church is still my favorite. My sister has a strange fondness for Caboose as do alot of other people for some reason. He just really annoys me.

I WANT TO SEE THIS REALLY BAD!! WHY?
BECAUSE I A FRIEND WHO SENT THIS TO ME IS THE ONE I LOVE AND ALWAYS WILL SO I WANTED T THANK HIM FOR SENDING THIS TO NE!!!!
Using one of the most popular video games of all time, the creators of 'Red vs. Blue' satirize not only the story of Halo, but video gaming culture and the nature of war as well. The result is episode after episode of hilarity, with pitch-perfect characters that truly grow on the viewers. Even people unfamiliar with games will enjoy this series.
I would like to point out that I am not a fan of the video game Halo. I won't get into it, but I just don't like the game. Red Vs Blue on the other hand, is simply hilarious. I own all 5 seasons on DVD, and I can't help but watch over and over again. One of the best written, best acted, best everything comedies I've ever seen. I love it and I recommend it to anyone who has a sense of humor.
I love this show! I thought at first it was dumb because my boyfriend's buddy kept quoting it in class, and I just wanted to smack him for it. Thought it was werid, then it really got me laughing. The boys rue the day that they converted me into it.
"What?....You haven't seen it? What's wrong with you!?" Visit www.redvsblue.com for downloads that will make milk come out yer nose.... even if you didn't drink any.
Quite possibly one of the funniest 'private' film endeavours I have ever seen. If you haven't seen/played Halo, you should still enjoy most of it, if you do play Halo or ever have, or if you're any kind of teenager/video game players it is probably one of the funniest things you will ever see.
It uses in game play graphics, lined with dub-over to 'act out' scenes and makes up a whole series. The series is funny, creative and very witty. I suggest you at least take a look at it.
I'm not fond of the XBox/PC game Halo by any means. I consider it a very average and unremarkable shooter, save for its use of vehicles. But even with that said, the satirical machinima series Red vs. Blue will always occupy a place in my heart.
The show is shot entirely using the XBox version of Halo, albeit with the game's HUD cropped out. (The aiming reticule is still there, and although it can be a bit distracting at first, you get used to it, and it's part of RVB's "independent film" appeal.) Other than some visual touch-ups, everything there is real and can be duplicated. Also, all of the characters look alike, so they are differentiated via the colors of their armor.
So what's it about? The series lampoons numerous things, including shooters, military life, sci-fi culture, and Halo itself (Church: "These arms aren't that flexible!"). It's set in the rather plain box canyon known as Blood Gulch (a multiplayer map in Halo) during the period between Halo and Halo 2. At one end is the base of the Blue Team; at the other, the Red Team base. Both sides are caught in a fierce deadlock during a capture-the-flag game. In reality, both teams are incredibly inept and would rather spend their time bickering, finding ways to kill time (such as tossing rocks through a teleporter), or just sort of spying on the other team.
On the Blue Team is Church, the sarcastic, impatient leader; Tucker, his somewhat serious-minded partner; and Caboose, the scatterbrained rookie who is often the origin of RVB's many famous quotes.
The Red Team is not much better, though. There's Sarge, a sergeant (duh) with an outlandish Southern American accent; Grif, the soldier who is the butt of most of Sarge's criticism; Simmons, a soldier who gets respect from Sarge and is accused by Grif of being a kiss-ass; Donut, a weird newbie in pink/lightish red armor (even though he's a guy); and Lopez, a robot whose speech unit shorts out later in the series, allowing him to only speak Spanish.
The teams don't stay put, though, and before long, all sorts of weird things happen. The Reds receive a Warthog-class jeep, leaving the Blues to compare it with their own tank in terms of attracting girls. Caboose inadvertently kills Church by blasting him with the tank. Church, now a ghost, possesses Sarge's body and makes him spit inside his own helmet. And that's just the first 19-episode season. But what really makes RVB shine is its great writing, scripting, and voice work.
